"At these words everybody in the court stood up and cheered the pris- oner with the widest excitement and enthusiasm the judge said that in dis charging him he must at the same time compliment him on his gallantry; and the foreman of the jury then and there started subscription for him, which came up to something near twenty pounds. Captain Forsyth ordered chaise to take him post haste 10 London for the purpose of remov- ing Williams from place with such horrible associations, and of getting him an appointment from the admir- ralty. The people insisted on drag ging the chaise out of town with their own hands, the horses were then put to and amid deafening cheers they drove off-and were never heard ot again.
 "Why was that?" some one asked, as the colonel paused.
 "Because it was hoax p
 "What!" we all exclaimed. "A hoax?" We had listened breathlessly to the tale, which the colonel certainly told admirably, the precipitation stand ing on his forehead as with horrible reality he personated the desperate sailor.
 "Yes," he said, Ca hoax. It was all a preconcerted arrangement the cap tain was merely clever accomplice, who played such parts for those of his associates in crime who came near re- ceiving their reward. This was prob ably his biggest performance but though it answered well enough then, in these days of telegraphic communi- cation and multiplied navy lists, it would be simply impossible. ."-All tue Year Round.

 UNDIsTINGUIsHED SOUNDS. - An English educational writer states that the existence of what he terms "sound- blindness" was suggested to him bv the difficulties some persons experi- ence in learning to spell and to pro- nounce foreign languages. The phe- nomenon is evidently inability to dis tinguish particular shades of sound. and is analogous to color blindness. Among illustrations given is that of boy who, though not deaf, could hear no difference between "very," "perry" and polly"
 THE LIMIT OF VIsIBILITY.-Just how large'is the mihutest object it is possible to see under the microscope, is speculation of considerable inter est. Sir Henry Roscoe having treated the 100000 of an inch as the limit of visibility with the highest known magnifyiDg power. Mr. Crisp, of the Royal Microscopical Society, af- firms that the real limit may be quite safely placed below 1-5O0,000 of an inch, though it cannot be definitely determined. Rev. Dr. Dallinger, the eminent president of the society, en- dorses this view, stating that he has himself seen objects which were cer- tainly between 100000 and 1-300,- 900 of an inch.
 AN ALPINE LAKELET.-In a little basin of the Alps, 7700 feet above sea- level and five miles from the end of the great Aletsch glacier, is the unique little lake known as the Mar jalen See. This is ted by mountain streamlets, it's waters being held back by the ice of the great glacier itself. An English geologist mentions having seen it in 1858 as body of water 300 yards wide and three times as long, with a maximum depth of 97 feet. But the next day it had vanished. The ice-dam had yielded sufficiently to allow the pent-up water to escape beneath the glacier and plunge into the valley below, devastating the fields and considerably raising the level of the Rhone. These discharges take place at irregular intervals, though reputed to occur every seven years. The latest outbreak was in September last, since which it has been proposed to lessen future dam ages by providing an artificial outlet to reduce the lakes capacity one- half.

A Realistic Adventure.
St. Nicholas.

As the dusk was setting ill on a beautiful autumnal day about thirty seven years ago, a man and boy were driving COW along a country road in Ohio. They had come long distance and were weary, but though the boy limped, the conversation did not flag as they trudged along.
 They were evidently not farmers both had the appearance of living a city life, but had they been ob- served, the things they were saying, and not their looks, would have at tracted attention; for they were talk ing of Cervantes and Shakespeare.
 The COW needed much urging, and it was late at night when they reached some white limbed sycamores beside the tailrace of a grist mill on the Lit tie Miami river, oil the other side of which was the small log cabin in which they lived. A question then arose as to how they should get the COW across. They did not know the depth of the water, but they knew it to be cold, and they did not care to swim it. The elder wanted the boy to run up under the sycamores to the saw mill, cross the headrace there, and come back to receive the COW on the other side of the tailrace. But with all his literature, the boy was young enough to be superstitious, and afraid of the dark; and though the elder urged him to go, he would not force him. They could see the lights in the cabin twinkling cheerfully, and they shouted to those within, but no one heard them. They called and called in vain, and were answered only by the cold rush of the tailrace, the rustic of sycamore leaves, and the homesick lowing of the cow.
 They then determined to drive across from the shore, and then to run up to the sawmill and down the other bank, so as to catch her as she reached it. When they came there, she was not to be found. however she had in- stantly turned again and during the night she made her way back to the town from which they had brought her.
 The log-cabin was small one, with cornfield of eighty acres behind it., and it was nearly quarter of a cen- tury old. The boy who entered it after this adventure was William Dean Howells, and the man was his father, who had recently brought his family to Dayton to take charge of the saw mill and gristmill on the river. The incident illustrates the simplicity of the early life of one who has since be- come the foremost American novelist

It is at times necessary to censure and punish, but very much more may be done by encouraging children when they do well. Be, therefore, more careful to express your appreciation of good conduct than your disapprobation of bad. Nothing can more discourage a child than spirit of incessant fault finding on the part of its parents; and hardly anything can exert a more in- furious influence upon the disposition both of the parent and child. There are two great motives influencing human actions-hope and fear. Both of these are at times necessary. But who would not prefer to have her child influenced to good conduct by a desire of pleasing rather than by the fear of offending? fla mother never expresses her qualification when her children do we'll, and is always cen- surfing them when she sees anything amiss, they are discouraged and un- happy; their dispositions become hardened and soured by this ceaseless fretting and, at last, finding that, whether they do we'll or ill, they are equally found fault with, they relin- quish all efforts to please, and become needless of reproaches. = Chicago Tef3Oes

THE Rome correspondent Of the Dub
lin Nation warns the public against
false reports sent abro d from that city
for the purpose of misleading foreign
ers. He writes that: Several papers
that published statement as to the es-
tablishment of a commission to inquire
into the Law Of Guarantees are grossly
wrong in their accounts of what has
occurred. The Holy Father has done
nothing that could be interpreted as in-
dicating disposition to accept any SET
Element that would impair the rights OF
the Holy See in any respect. Of course
the anti-Papal journals did not put in
this limitation. aud by the omission at
tributed to the holy Father intentions
thathe never entertained. Whatever
deliberations or inquiries are taking
place are for the benefit of the Pope and
his advisers, and are not INTENDED as
supports on which the party Of the
usurpation should build false hopes.
The Pope is for peace now as always !;
but it.must be peace with justice, and
full recognition Of all Papal rights and
privileges. When these are conceded,
and when the Pope shall be at liberty

with the Irish patriot, and it is now
